that is the type of trolley I would like Geobra to make
-
There have been a number on eBay recently which I have been tempted to bid on and I ha a couple of trucks once.
-
Please note that FALLER Playtrain is based on 0-scale, and that the track width is smaller.

On YouTube is this movie about a FALLER Playtrain garden layout. Some models are modified. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4yV80BSgeE)

Thanks for the link, it's an interesting video.
The railbus has been nicely painted, as have the steam loco and the carriage. It's a very smart livery, green and white/cream.
The overhead view of the railbus with the side tipper wagons is good.
I like the uncoupler and wish Playmobil had made on like that, even if it were manually operated.

You don't need a uncoupler with Playmobil trains. Each Playmobil wagon has a button on top of the coupling hook. Press them in both, and the cars will uncouple. This is a little addition that the LGB coupling does not have.
-
I'm wanting to uncouple a wagon or carriage "automatically" as the train passes by rather than stopping it and uncoupling it by hand. The LGB coupler works better with the LGB style couplings which were also used on the original Playmobil rolling stock than it does with the current Playmobil couplings.

Hi, I love the faller playtrain. The intercity bus is clearly made for Playmobil clickies. The plastic quality is less solid then playmobil however. I plan to rescale my bus to playmobil scale but havent done so :)
Here is a thread were we discussed faller etrains a couple of years ago:

Just when you think you will never see a Faller Playtrain again, I stumbled upon Faller mini Playtrain set 3502. Still in it's original box, and the tiny pieces were never attached to the passenger wagon. Although the box was bleached at one site by the sun, the train was still in perfect condition. The wheels show obviously that never somebody played with this train. Unbelievable, considering that Faller Playtrain is 30 years out of production. Now comes the difficult part to search 0-gauge rails.

Now that's pretty cool! Very late Georgian / early Victorian!
I take it it is unpowered? (you just push it around on the track?)
It did not come with any track?
Did it come with figures?
-
The set in unpowered, and without rails. A powered version was made by Faller, but that locomotive was red/green.
-
It's gorgeous! What a Lucky find.

These gallery trains would look great as a narrow gauge train in our western logging town. Great find on the antique set.
